Produktbeschreibung
Shaykh Mugid (949-1022) was the leading Imami Shi'I scholar of his time and the first of a group of writers responsible for the introduction of rationalist ideas into Imamism. In this illuminating and highly readable new study. Tamima Bayhom- Daou draws upon carefully slsected historical resources and the most up-to-date scholarship to present a fascinating account of Mufid's life and work, assessing his contributions to the fields of jurisprudence, theology and sacred history and setting his thought in the wider context of developments in the Imami conception of religious authority. Mufid's particular importance lies in his advocacy of the role of reason in religion, and his writings still have great relevance to the lives and beliefs of many Shi'I Muslims today. With straightforward explanations of all the key ideas and themes of al-Mufid's work, this accessible introduction to an influential thinker also features a guide to further reading and will prove an indispensible resource for readers of all backgrounds.
